Why is summer the best time to visit Hawai’i?

Summer is considered one of the best times to visit Hawaii for several great reasons. The weather is consistently warm, with temperatures ranging from the mid-70s to mid-80s Fahrenheit (24-29°C), creating ideal conditions for outdoor activities and beach outings. The ocean is generally calmer during the summer, which is perfect for snorkeling, swimming, diving, and other water activities, with excellent visibility enhancing the experience of exploring coral reefs and marine life.

Summer is the dry season, with a lower chance of rain disrupting outdoor plans. The drier weather is better for hiking, sightseeing, and enjoying the beaches. The extra hour of daylight allows for more time to explore and enjoy activities, maximizing the vacation experience whether you’re hiking, lounging on the beach, or visiting attractions.

The summer months host a variety of cultural events and festivals, including local music festivals, hula competitions, and food fairs. A quick flight to Oahu gets you to the Obon events on Oahu throughout the summer or Duke’s OceanFest in Waikīkī in late August. Summer aligns with school vacations, making it a convenient time for families to travel. Hawaii offers numerous family-friendly activities and accommodations, making it an ideal destination for summer family trips.

While winter is the peak season for humpback whale watching, summer still offers opportunities to see other marine life such as dolphins, sea turtles, and colorful fish, making it a great time for snorkeling and diving. Many of Hawaii’s tropical plants and flowers are in full bloom during the summer, adding to the island’s beauty and providing fantastic photo opportunities, especially in botanical gardens and parks.

Summer is also an excellent time for adventure activities like surfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and zip-lining, with favorable weather conditions making these activities more enjoyable and safer. Additionally, some attractions, like Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, may be less crowded during the summer compared to the peak winter tourist season, allowing for a more relaxed and intimate experience with nature.

Overall, the combination of pleasant weather, abundant outdoor activities, cultural events, and natural beauty makes summer an ideal time to visit Hawaii.

Location and Proximity to the Beach

Ocean View from Keauhou Surf and Racquet The location of your vacation rental is crucial, especially if you want easy access to the beach and other attractions. Consider the proximity to popular beaches, restaurants, and shopping areas. If you prefer a quieter and more secluded experience, opt for rentals that are away from the hustle and bustle.

Amenities and Facilities

Take note of the amenities and facilities offered by the vacation rental. Does it have a fully-equipped kitchen, laundry facilities, or a private pool? Consider the amenities that are important to you and ensure they are available in the rental you choose.

Reviews and Ratings

Our picks for Best Beaches in West Hawai’i

West Hawaii, particularly the Kona and Kohala coasts of the Big Island of Hawaii, is known for its stunning beaches. Wide swatches of sand, shady spots under the trees, or reefs full of sealife, whatever you are looking for, here are some of our favorite beaches in West Hawai’i:

Best Beaches in West Hawaii

Hapuna Beach State Park:

Hapuna Beach is one of the most famous beaches on the Big Island. It offers a long, wide expanse of golden sand and clear turquoise waters, making it ideal for swimming, sunbathing, and bodyboarding. The beach is also equipped with picnic areas and restroom facilities.

Waialea Beach 69:

Just down the road from Hapuna Beach is a personal favorite. Are you looking for sun or shade? Napping, swimming, snorkeling? In the many hidden spots under the Kiawe trees, you can find your own quiet space to relax and unwind. Or find a sunny spot in the soft sand and soak up the warmth of the Hawaiian sun. The snorkeling around the largest rock outcropping can bring some impressive displays of coral and fish and even the turtles seem more relaxed with fewer people in their ocean.

Honokohau Beach:

Are you looking for calm waters and a peaceful spot to relax? With a protective reef, Honokohau Beach is a great spot for swimming or snorkeling. It also has a little more shade than many West Hawaii beaches. This beach is a part of Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historic Park which has an ancient fishpond just above the beach. You can read more about the area and the archaeological sites, springs, petroglyphs, heiau (Hawaiian temples), and fishponds here.

Kahalu’u Bay:

Kahalu’u Bay has a little of everything. Not only is there a large sandy area for relaxing and picnicking but it has some great snorkeling, an excellent area for surfing including many options for surf lessons, and a beautiful spot for watching the sunset.

Mauna Kea Beach:

Located adjacent to Hapuna Beach, Mauna Kea Beach is another beautiful option. It’s known for its powdery white sand and gentle waves. The Mauna Kea Beach Hotel is nearby, offering beachside amenities and dining.

Kaunaoa Beach (Mau’umae Beach):

This beach is situated in front of the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel and is known for its crescent shape, palm trees, and soft sand. It’s a great spot for snorkeling, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing.

Kua Bay (Manini’owali Beach):

Kua Bay is a picturesque beach known for its crystal-clear waters and fine white sand. Before you walk down to the beach, pause a moment to appreciate the gorgeous turquoise waters below and just take a deep breath. It’s a popular spot for boogie boarding, body surfing, and picnicking. Bring your binoculars if you want to watch the dolphins cruising by and an umbrella for a little shade. Be sure to arrive early as the parking lot can fill up quickly.

Makalawena Beach:

Accessible via a short hike from the Kekaha Kai State Park parking lot, Makalawena Beach is a hidden gem with a unique landscape of white sand, lava formations, and palm trees. It’s a remote and beautiful spot for those seeking a quieter beach experience. If you have a 2WD vehicle you might want to consider walking in. The reward of arriving makes the hike worthwhile.

Old Kona Airport State Recreation Area:

This park has a unique beach known for its black lava rock shoreline. It’s a great place for picnicking, beachcombing, and watching the sunset. The park also offers walking and jogging paths. On the mauka side of the parking lot you can enjoy a stroll on the Maka-eo walking path with gardens maintained by community members and local businesses

Kealakekua Bay:

While not a traditional beach, Kealakekua Bay is famous for its clear waters and incredible snorkeling. It’s a protected marine sanctuary and home to a wide variety of marine life, including colorful coral and spinner dolphins. The hike in is rigorous but worth it or take a guided kayak tour and enjoy the sight of dolphins swimming and leaping along beside you.

Two Step Beach (Honaunau Bay):

This rocky beach is famous for its exceptional snorkeling and diving opportunities, including the chance to see Hawaiian green sea turtles and a variety of fish. Dolphins and rays are often spotted in the deeper areas past the “Aloha”. The name “Two Step” refers to the natural stone steps that lead into the water.

Whichever beach you choose, you are likely to find a place you love. So lay out your towel, kick off your slippahs and let us know your favorite!

After a beautiful day at the beach here are a few suggestions for some local eats!

Location Considerations

When choosing your accommodation, consider what part of Kailua-Kona you’d like to stay in. With its shops, restaurants, and water activities, Ali’i Drive is a popular choice for its proximity to the Ironman events before and on race day.

Vacation Rentals

If you’re looking for a more private and spacious option, vacation rentals can be a great choice. There are numerous vacation homes, condos, and villas in Kailua-Kona. With multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas, and outdoor spaces, vacation homes provide ample room for everyone to spread out and unwind. Renting a private residence allows you to have a home away from home and experience local life. Plus, you will generally have a full kitchen to be sure you are fueling properly for the big day.

Bed and Breakfasts

For a more intimate and personalized experience, consider staying in a bed and breakfast. Kailua-Kona has charming B&Bs that offer comfortable rooms and homemade breakfasts. This option allows you to connect with locals and get insider tips on exploring the area.

Resort Experience

Kailua-Kona boasts several luxurious resorts that offer unparalleled comfort and amenities. These oceanfront properties typically feature beautiful pools, private beaches, world-class dining, and spa facilities. Popular options include the Hilton Waikoloa Village, the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai, and the Mauna Lani Auberge Resorts Collection.

Book soon

Kailua-Kona is a popular tourist destination even without the race, so it’s wise to book your accommodation well in advance, especially during peak travel seasons. This ensures you have the widest selection of options and the best rates.

Securing the perfect place to stay is a vital part of this adventure, offering you not only comfort but also the opportunity to immerse yourself in the unique beauty and culture of this tropical paradise. Whether you opt for the bustling Ali’i Drive, the privacy of vacation rentals, the convenience of hotels, the charm of bed and breakfasts, or the luxury of resorts, there’s a perfect accommodation option to suit your preferences. As the race day approaches, don’t delay in making your reservation, considering the high demand for lodging in this sought-after destination. Be sure to communicate any specific needs or preferences with your chosen lodging, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable stay in Kailua-Kona as you prepare to tackle the Ironman World Championship.
